![]() Cars are much more detailed (and there's more of them on the track now, with up to 12 drivers instead of the previous eight), and the wrecks are far more elaborate. Apart from basic upgrades, such as improved lighting, as well as better smoke and water effects, BugBear has vastly improved the look of on-track action. The visual upgrade is more than just the standard upscaling of the existing visual assets. If you ever played FlatOut 2, you'll notice the difference the second you lay rubber to the track. The good news is that Ultimate Carnage takes the groundwork laid by FlatOut 2 and improves it by a good measure. But as luck would have it, offroad Burnout is still pretty fun. The grit and dirty destruction of the first game were sanded down, until all that was left was an offroad Burnout clone. Arguably, FlatOut 2 wasn't quite as entertaining as its predecessor because the game took the series in a slicker, less grimy-feeling direction. Whether you're bashing opponents into trees while crashing through walls of tires and leaping off rooftops in standard races, getting your crash on in straight-up demolition derbies, or flinging the driver of your car through your windshield into a set of bowling pins or a series of flaming rings, one theme remains constant throughout: wrecking everything-and wrecking it good. It might mostly be FlatOut 2 all over again, but Ultimate Carnage sure does look a hell of a lot better.įor those who are not in the know about this FlatOut business, the FlatOut series is all about demolition racing. While you can't help but feel like developer BugBear might have just been better off making a proper FlatOut sequel instead of reheating its last game, the upgrades made here are significant enough to make the game stand on its own. However, it also comes with some new modes and vehicles to help flesh out the package a bit more. It's got the prerequisite shiny new graphics and additional on-track carnage. Also those hard earned credits can also be put towards upgrades for your beast, which include everything from turbo kits to roll cages.The newly released FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is actually just a reworking of 2006's demolition racer FlatOut 2. ![]() Earn yourself enough credits and you can upgrade your current car, or purchase a new one in a better class, which will allow you to compete in other events. Each race and Cup won earns you credits which are used to buy new cars and upgrades. In the Cup you will be up against 11 other racers in a series of lapped courses. These events are either single races or a Cup. ![]() In FlatOut mode each class is split up into levels, with each level consisting of about six events. Regardless of class, all are equipped with Nitro which will be offered as a reward during races for either crashing into your opponents or course objects, or catching air time off jumps. Racing class cars are a bit more powerful, while Street class cars are the quickest of all (but are also the weakest). You start off with the Derby class, which is the toughest of the bunch, but not the quickest. The FlatOut career mode sees players having to complete a series of events in three different car classes. Game modes include lapped races, the usual time-trial against the clock, and annihilating your opponents in a classic destruction derby. The cars in FlatOut handle fairly smoothly and don't become hard to control when you are off the track (you're also not spinning out when smashing through the littered roadside objects). You really get to experience what Ultimate Carnage is all about.įlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is more of an arcade racer, one which does not focus too much on realism but on the fun side of racing.
